Daniel Nyblin

Carl Petter Daniel Dyrendahl Nyblin was a Norwegian-born photographer and one of the most significant pioneers of Finnish photography. He founded Atelier Nyblin in Helsinki, Finland in 1877, one of the city's leading photographic studios. He played a central role in organising and professionalising photography in Finland – as exhibition organiser, editor, teacher and lecturer. In 1889, he co-founded the Amateur Photography Club in Helsinki, the oldest still-active photography club in the Nordic countries. He has been called "the father of Finnish photographic art".
